ERROR 405: Method Not Allowed

[rEnr3n]

Before filing a bug, check the following:

1. Do you use the latest release of aurutils and its dependencies? If so,
   is the issue reproducible from the master branch?

$ pacman -Qs aurutils
local/aurutils 2.3.3-1
    helper tools for the arch user repository

I can't reproduce the issue on master branch.

2. Does the package conform to
   PKGBUILD(5) and the
   AUR package guidelines?
3. Does the package provide the correct metadata on the
   AUR RPC interface?

https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=name-desc&arg=yay

4. Does the package build with makepkg -s or extra-x86_64-build ?
5. Is the problem reproducible, and not due to a misconfiguration of
   pacman, makepkg, sudoers, gpg or others?

I cannot replicate the issue on a clean container.

If yes to all, create a debug log:

$ AUR_DEBUG=1 aur search yay
https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=name-desc&arg=yay:
2020-08-10 16:30:22 ERROR 405: Method Not Allowed.

I'm not sure what the problem is as I have not changed any related configuration recently. I tried deleting folders in ~/.config and ~/.cache but I still have the same issue.

[rafasc]

I cannot reproduce the issue. Are you able to curl that url?
$ curl 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=name-desc&arg=yay'

[rEnr3n]

$ curl 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=name-desc&arg=yay'

[rafasc]

Did you check if the problem persists, and this wasn't a momentary glitch from the RPC?

[rEnr3n]

Yes. I checked just now. Still the same.

[rafasc]

That version didn't use curl, it uses wget. Can you wget that url without getting the 405 error?

wget -O - -nv 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=name-desc&arg=yay'

Do you have a .wgetrc? I cannot reproduce this.
Could you perhaps use xtrace and attach: bash xtrace aur search yay

because AUR_DEBUG mechanism didn't exist on 2.3.3.

[rEnr3n]

Turns out the problem is this line on my /etc/wgetrc

content-disposition = on

I have commented out that line for now.

Added some other commits to the 2.3 branch (in particular, removal of parallel), please test if it works as intended and I'll draft a release for 2.3.4.

[rEnr3n]

Tested the 2.3 branch. It works.

Using v2.3.3, I just wanted to add that using this config causes issue:

continue = on
content-disposition = on

Commenting either or all of the lines fixes the issue.

[rafasc]

Thanks for the follow up.

The manpage of wget itself marks content-disposition as experimental and refers that it may result in HEAD requests to the server, which the RPC server doesn't seem to support (upstream bug ?).

No action is needed on master because we moved to using curl in 84034bb (scripts: switch to curl, 2020-03-28) and 2.3 seems to work fine on my end. 🚀

[AladW]

Released 2.3.4.
